A little Inuit girl and an arctic fox under the northern lights is a marvelous winter image. The colors and detail are charming.

Using just red, blue and gray (or is it black?) the artist has used a simple palette and strong brushwork to make a bold statement.

Gremlin by tomoyo696

The sweet character portrayed with skillfully executed drawing and a mixture of high contrast colors makes this a fine example of how to characterize a beloved pet.

Couldn't Sleep by tuliipiie

High contrast colors, excellent drawing and a remarkable expression on the character's face all go to make this a very compelling picture.

The Language of flowers by Vasylissa

Drawn and detailed, colored with a tender sensibility this flower girl is a beautiful harbinger of the season that follows winter.

Lekkosc/Delicacy by stokrotas

This is a wonderful example of the effects that can be depicted when an artist has mastered wet in wet techniques. The dancers are vibrant and beautiful.

Golden Dragon by Enijoi

The crisp lines and muted, albeit rich, colors all serve to enhance the features and expression of both characters.

Cidre et Dragon Proposition Affiche 2016 by UnAutreLapin

The remarkable combination of a masterful still life painting with a young dwarf fighting off a dragon is both fascinating and stunning.

Mr. Childermass by ThistleArts

In an illustration from Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, the artist has portrayed the magical and moody atmosphere of that magnificent pseudo Victorian novel.

Chicken Little by richardcgreen

Using an integrated palette and having the sensitivity to know when to let the paint and plastic wrap to become acquainted the artist provides a ground for further invention. This is a fine example of his work.
